Girlfriends

My sweet little girls!  They usually play so well together.  Rebekah is starting to say more words, so communication with her is improving.  It is so nice to have her say, "Cup!" instead of her pitching a hissy fit..arching her back, screeching, and causing hearing loss.

Rebekah and Sarah were in the tub playing and Rebekah hit Sarah in the head with a tea cup.  Sarah's eyes filled with tears and when I scolded Rebekah she said, "It's ok mommy, she can hit me if she wants to."

Sarah inherited the "pig pen" gene.  I usually see this trait mostly in Levi.  How unfortunate to be a little girl and have superhuman abilities to get dirty.  Every morning I dress the girls...cute outfit, hair brushed, face washed, and teeth brush.  By lunch, Sarah looks like she would fit in quite nicely with Annie and Miss Hannigan in the orphanage.

She has been swimming like a fish!  She literally dropped her swimmies on a Monday and by Thursday was swimming in the deep end and jumping off of the diving board like a pro.

Rebekah is my pickiest eater.  I am sure this is my fault.  Funny how lax I have become by the sixth child.  I obviously would like her to eat well, but some days I just can't commit the mental faculties to that battle.  I am happy to say that she LOVES broccoli.  Loves it!  I love to watch her chubby little hands dip it into ranch dressing.

She has been doing this lately....putting on her daddy's ankle socks.  Of course they are knee highs on her:)  It cracks me up how determined she is to pull them on just right.

My little brown eyed beauty.....

Well, it appears that I am on the slippery slope to 40.  I can honestly say that it doesn't bother me a bit.  I haven't really noticed too many negative changes.  I am sure that under those blonde highlights are a few more gray hairs and that the pain in my hip I feel after a long run is only going to get worse the longer I live, but life is a gift and I want to enjoy every bit of it:)
